A major fire has engulfed a central Auckland supermarket, with acrid smoke billowing across the CBD since 11am.
The Victoria Park New World's been evacuated - with more than 30 firefighters racing to the scene.
Caller Susie Nordqvist says homeowners in the surrounding neighbourhoods have been ordered to close their windows - and reports claim people can see the smoke from as far as Auckland's North Shore.
"We've heard it may have started in a storeroom, but that's just word of mouth at the moment. It's caused a lot of damage and traffic disruptions this afternoon."
